Travel Guide New Mexico tm El Camino Real Heritage Center

Description:
El Camino Real International Heritage Center (ECRIHC) is one of New Mexico's newest State Monuments, dedicated in November 2005. The Center contains award winning exhibits, interpretive learning center, and artifacts presenting the history and heritage of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro - the Royal Road to the Interior.Colonists from Mexico and Spain entered New Mexico from 1598 until about 1885 along El Camino Real. Many of the people living in the Southwest today are decendents of these early settlers along the trail, extending from Mexico City and the port city of Veracruz to Santa Fe and beyond, a distance of over 1,500 miles. Today, Interstate 25, from Las Cruces to Santa Fe, closely parallels the route of El Camino Real through New Mexico.El Camino Real is our country's oldest, and longest continuously used "highway," bringing European colonists to "New Spain" (New Mexico) beginning 22 years before the Mayflower. It has been designated a National Historic Trail.

Jemez Mountain Trail Run 2009
